Rob Scott Gone

Quoted from cmackenzie4

Who would want Buckley back?

No way! He had his time and his last spell proved utterly fruitless, it showed how clueless he was about his knowledge of players at the time, the majority of players he brought in weren't great and if he hadn't of gone Im sure we would have ended up going down with him at some point. I love the guy for what he did for us in his first and second spells but there is no way we could appoint him again and expect him to lead us up. The game has changed too much for Mr Buckley.

The merry go round continues! Not surprised by the Buckley suggestions, even though it would be utterly ridiculous

Intrigue rules!

Interesting to hear what will be revealed in due course, both officially by the Club and on the grapevine (who on the 'new Fishy' has an inside link?). Being patient for news isn't easy though - hence the rush to speculate!

There's various posts about possible new managers....but at the moment we still have one!

I guess contractually now Scott has gone, Town would need to go through the process of making a "new" managerial appointment

Scott might well want Hurst to go with him at some stage but if the latter intends to stay and be a candidate in his own right, do you think that when interviews are being arranged, he'd go straight on to the short list?  

I heard Scott will be back as Pauls assistant haha

Hope we get someone to assist Hurst who knows his stuff at this level rather than someone like Macca who mainly played in much higher divisions and some time ago. Be gutted if we get rid of Hurst as well, you might as well forget about the next two years.

Crass bullyboy.
Novelty of his petulance wore off big time over the past six months. Obviously he's done something particuarly unsavory this time.

Really not bothered about keeping the stumpy one either tbh. Reckon he'll struggle to 'keep' the dressing room over this. Far too big of a change. Bit of a Judas thing to do to his mate as well.

Clean slate please.

If Hurst is in sole charge then that might suggest a disagreement between the pair especially as Hurst has been doing most if not all of the Telewag interviews for the past week or more. Possibly the spat with Tondeur has something to do with it as well.

I think it's a pity it hasn't worked out but we will never know the full story. It always seemed to me that RS was trying to be a bit of a Cloughie but the only definite similarity is the mouth. It's understandable that they sat down after last year and looked at the York example but it was a big mistake. The one factor in their favour for most of last year was team spirit and that looks to be lacking in players who don't really look sure about what they are meant to be doing. We shall see which one really wanted 4-3-3 in tomorrow's team selection, won't we?

Did it go to a boardroom vote? How did the two Trust member vote?

OS just states :


Paul Hurst will take sole charge of team matters at this time.

The club will make a further statement in due course.
